[Welcome to a lovely shot of Rebecca, who adjusts the camera gently. Something quite amiss in the picture is her usual set of heavy duty earphones, a change she's evidently not used to herself with how she keeps touching her ear. But other notable things in frame include how she's taken scissors to her scrub-top and cut it into a darkish-dyed cropped tank top. She's still working on the rest of the outfit, but individuality despite circumstances is a Thing.]

So, hey. Hope you guys are adjusting. Not sure I am, but that's not the point.

Got a few ideas, actually! One, if you haven't already, go get your slammer welcome pack. It includes rations, which might be new to you. Not the most inspiring hand out nor is it really all that much, but to cure that I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to throw in together. A potato by itself's kinda sad, but if ten or so people toss theirs in we might be able to make some pretty rad potato dish instead. Mashed? Boiled. Whoooa, sky's the limit here. [Purposely overacting that part.]

And if you know any cool ways to cook up dishes with the few things we've got, I'll field recipes too. Plain rice by itself is going to get old real quick, mark my words.

Hey, just checking in. Been taking a bit of a walk actually, who else has done the same?

[This video feed is sent out a little later on than her first with a locale change; switching to her hand on a chain link fence the camera takes in a brief shot of the farm area outside.] Those totally look like chickens way over there. And I don't know what's being grown, but I'm nosy and curious. I was wondering if anyone wanted to go investigate that side of the fence later. I'd hop it now but it seems smarter to at least have someone give me a boost. [Or you know, be around in case those are alien, people-eating chickens instead.]

I'm not going to steal any birds though, you carnivores can do that much yourselves. I'm more interested in their eggs. Aannd I filtered this to you guys because I didn't really wanna inspire people hopping fences to find surprises on the other side, y'know? Figured we should check things out first.

	They did say something about that after the transfer, but this certainly confirms it. There's really no telling how big this actually is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wish we met the inmates from here. To see if they were the same as us. [In comparison to the non-conversational types of Sector 6, for example. To make sure they didn't actually know them personally, too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You think it was inhabited before we arrived..? [ Sure, the crops would point in that direction... but where did the other inmates go in that case? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She's quiet, then.] It'd be scarier to think that there are empty prisons waiting to be filled up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-02 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	Seeing how much space we still had left over in MarinaNova... [ Filling up every four days. ] Isn't it better that they're empty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We know of at least three domes. We were the third generation in the one with Sentience and Acumen. The first with Veri and Consci. That means that was a new prison, or its first run. If we're going to assume this one is as well, that could mean a new phase to a plan? Expansion. Why else would there be so many, besides back up uses? We don't even know where the other inmates went.

We're the latest bunch of guinea pigs and aside from being part of a nature vs nurture science experiment, I don't think our lives as 'criminals' are so valuable to our captors as to have this many prisons available for us to hop to in case of emergency.

[ Nodding. ] You're right about that... we also need to take into account that the first dome — the one with Sentience — didn't have any inmates aside from us, unlike MarinaNova that also hosts the ones in Sector 6. Are they a new addition or did they come from a different facility, originally?

There are a lot of questions... [ More than she might realize and seeing as she was the one who brought up the body storage way back when... ] Hey, uh... Rebecca? Can I trust you to keep a secret?

	This morning... did it feel familiar to you? That sluggish sensation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-04 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	Think back to the coup, when we first woke up in the dome... wasn't that the same kind of feeling? The sort of... tingly sensation, as if your skin had fallen asleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-05 07:05 am UTC (link)
	[And that sends a small chill through her as she recalls.] ... Yeah. That feeling, it's kinda like that isn't it. Disorienting a bit. But this time there are real changes. I don't get that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Me neither... and back then, it looked like we were still in the prison. Everything was where it was supposed to be, right? Then again, it was dark. We didn't exactly have that much time to take a closer look.

Then there's the body storage... everyone who's been in the dome, but isn't anymore. Add that to the people who was in the dome but didn't join Sentience — they were sleeping in their beds but couldn't be woken up. We were the only ones awake.

	[She frowns, but nods.] So, what? You think we were in two domes at once? Or like. [Her expression suddenly drops.] ... We really woke up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-06 08:18 am UTC (link)
	[ A short, tense nod. Nailed it in one. ] I think we've been asleep this whole time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Excuse Rebecca while she's silent for a few beats, a little gutted by that idea. It's not actually an unfamiliar idea, but she never thought it would apply to her. Animus exhausted individuals often suffered the bleeding effect, memories overlapping and making reality hard to distinguish. But to have her reality challenged? Well shit.]

I... [She sighs.] Why would they do that. [She blinks, thinking on it.] Security?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-06 09:30 am UTC (link)
	Maybe... it would certainly make more sense from a practical standpoint. [ It's hard to fight back when you're in storage. ] I could be wrong... it's hard to prove either way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-07 02:38 am UTC (link)
	It... uh, just throws you for a loop, doesn't it. [The idea. She's still trying to grasp it. It's delightfully terrifying.] That would... explain Sentience, before, if you remember? He'd vid-post from places but not actually be there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It would explain a lot of things. [ Everything, really. ] I mean... I told you about Tobias. He literally disappeared in the blink of an eye. How is that possible unless there's some sort of... and we already refer to the malfunctions within the stabilizer as a glitch.

What if nothing that's happened over our stay here is real? What if it actually never happened?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-10 12:46 am UTC (link)
	It happened. [She's adamant about that. Though glitches, wow, she shakes her head because that sounds all too true.] It might not have been real, real bodies kinda way but it happened. We might be in the matrix but that's just it, we are here together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-10 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	[ She might be adamant but his own hold on reality is definitely slipping. Not yet. Not now, when they're in the middle of it with more work to do than time to do it in, but later? Later it will slip. Can't help but slip. ] How can you be so sure? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-10 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Because I know I'm a real person. [Don't you?] Don't freak me out with the idea of everybody around me being fake, Reid. I'll punch you. And you'll feel it, trust me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-11 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	[ He's starting to doubt it... but sure, let's not bring light to that mess just now. ] Right... sorry. Probably shouldn't think too hard about that, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-06-12 05:30 am UTC (link)
	... Right. [It'll be a head-clutcher for later on, for the both of them.] If I can't sleep tonight, you might still get punched. Fair warning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-12 02:00 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose I deserve that. [ Weak smile. ] Keep this quiet, alright? I could be wrong. No use in starting up rumors before we have proof. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
